View through Europeana Collections
Kobayashi Bunshichi zōhan 様文 K( zōhan 様 = possession of the print sticks) Supposedly a self-portrait of Hokusai from his late years of life. It can be assumed that the print here is an after-cut of Kobayashi Bunshichi 様文様. A very similar print (?) of Bunshichi with a uniform jacket exists in the Musee Guimet (formerly in the Louvre). At the same time, a letter from 1901 was also received, which Vever wrote to the Louvre and contains the following sentence: “In October of 1900, when Mr. Kobayashi visited Paris, I received from him an engraving he had just completed a self-portrait by Hokusai.” (cf. Lit. Guimet).
